You need a different knife man. I’ve never gotten poked by a knife in my pocket.Uhh, no, I reach in my pocket with my ONE hand and poke my finger tip with a barely open blade sometimes when the blade faces up…
You don’t look at it before you buy it?
And what’s having it face up in your pocket have to do with flicking it open?
It’s all about efficiency. Single movement, knife comes out of the pocket and open almost immediately after coming out of the pocket.
I guess some of that is using a knife as a means of self defense in addition to just a cutting tool.
Same as carrying a concealed carry gun on an empty chamber. To each their own though. I will carry my gun with one in the chamber and knife ready to deploy with hopes that I never need to.
